Family pet lost in structure fire
At 3 p.m. Sunday (May 26), the Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to the reports of a structure fire at the 2300 block of SE 106th Ave. in Vancouver, just south of Highway 14.
Responding units stated that they could see a large column of smoke coming from the reported address from miles away. First-arriving units arrived within six minutes and found heavy smoke and fire coming from the rear of the house and stretched hose lines to combat the fire.
Once another crew arrived on scene, firefighters connected to a fire hydrant and extended the hose line inside of the home to extinguish the fire, which took approximately 10 minutes. Once inside, fire crews noticed that the fire had burned a large hole through the roof overhead.
A total of 16 firefighters and two battalion chiefs were on the fire scene. Nobody was home when the fire started and no injuries to residents or firefighters were reported. One family pet was found deceased in a bedroom..
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Vancouver Fire Marshal’s Office.
